You can only vote on one answer.
I’ve in favor of every state sending a voting package automatically to everyone who is a US citizen which includes voter registration forms and a ballot and a return envelope that self seals, no licking. Send out six weeks before election. Cutoff return date three weeks before election date. Announce results on election date. I’d have no prepaid returns, voters add their own return stamps. Eliminate voting in person. Work on an online OPTION elections.

I think everyone should automatically get a complete mail voting and registration package in one shot and not just those who specifically request it. The onus on filling out the paperwork and sending it back is on the citizen. Doesn’t seem like a huge burden for citizens.

Why no prepaid postage? My jurisdiction has prepaid postage and self adhesive envelopes now. It's a pain to go find or buy stamps.

I'm also for online voting using PKI security.

I agree. Voting by mail should have pre-paid postage.

I left that as a question. One would think there should be SOME effort put into voting. Filling it out and mailing it is effort would providing postage and saving the government money be just a little more effort or too much? @quitwhendone @beckyromero
@jackjjackson Voting should be completely free and as easy as possible. In Australia, voting is mandatory.
